As Inhuman As a Man's Heart Seems

As inhuman as a man's heart seems... hidden inside is a tender side: a beautiful side seldom seen by others; and that fear of being sensitive is a real hurdle for those men sworn in pride, but manly qualities are judged by his deeds... A woman's perception of the common man is that he is lives in an unintentional masquerede, to hide the sweetness he won't manifest; and this unconformity won't let his beauty be capturated by intense emotions of masculinity... will he break the myth and be appreciated? I have struggled with it indefinitely and embraced this stereotype unsympathetically, why are we supposed to be so uncaring and invulnerable, and outgrow our own resistance and be so invincible; have we realized that disharmony, indignation and frustration are not truly noble? As inhuman as a man's heart seems, many sacrifice love for an unexplanable cause... putting vanity before human compassion: without guilt, regard and trepidation; have we become so stubbornly persistent... to lose all self-direction and prospective?
